What are the early symptoms of childhood leukemia?

Patient's question:

At the beginning of this year, due to a work transfer, we moved to a new home. After the house was decorated, we moved in shortly after. Because there are children at home, I am very concerned that the decoration might cause physical harm to him. So, I would like to ask the doctor, what are the early symptoms of childhood leukemia?

Doctor's answer:

Early symptoms of leukemia are primarily characterized by recurrent high fever or the tendency for certain body parts to develop rust-colored patches that easily break the skin and are difficult to heal with medication. In newly renovated homes that have not been sufficiently ventilated, the high levels of formaldehyde in many materials can indeed increase the risk of developing leukemia or aplastic anemia. Therefore, it is essential to open windows frequently and ensure proper ventilation daily.
